Cardiomyopathies indistinctly affect atrial and ventricular cardiac compartments with alterations of their mechanical and/or electrical activity. To understand the main mechanisms involved in these pathological alterations, a detailed knowledge of the physiology of the healthy heart is critical. In the present work, we utilize multidimensional protein identification technology to characterize the murine left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), and atria (A) proteomes, identifying thousands of distinct proteins. Moreover, using multidimensional algorithm protein map tool, relative abundances of proteins among the heart chambers were investigated. In sum, we found 16 and 55 proteins were more abundant in LV compared to RV and A, respectively; 47 and 60 proteins were more abundant in RV than LV and A, respectively; and, 81 and 74 proteins were more abundant in A than LV and RV, respectively. This detailed characterization of myocardial compartment proteome represents an important advancement in the knowledge of heart physiology, and may contribute to the identification of key features underlying the onset of cardiomyopathy.

    We provide evidence for an unanticipated regulatory function of Akt controlling L-type Ca2+ channel (LTCC) protein density. The pore-forming channel subunit Cav{alpha}1 contains highly conserved PEST sequences (signals for rapid protein degradation), and in-frame deletion of these PEST sequences res...

    We show in this study that loss of miR-143/145 in vitro and in vivo results in the formation of podosomes, which are actin-rich membrane protrusions involved in the migration of several cell types, including SMCs. We further show that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) mediates podosome formation...

    We previously reported that transgenic overexpression of an active form of Akt (Akt-E40K) in mice results in increased cardiac contractility and cell size, as well as improved sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) handling. Because it is not fully elucidated, we decided to study the molecular mechanism...
